Important Questions on Pressure Inside a Fluid
In air an object weighs , when immersed completely in water the same object weighs . When immersed in another liquid completely, it weighs . Find The specific gravity of the other liquid

A drum containing water is rotating about its own axis along with the liquid inside at a constant angular velocity . Under steady condition, what will be the shape of the free surface of liquid?

The tank shown in figure is filled with water up to a height of . Assuming the atmospheric pressure to be absent the force that the water exerts on side ABCD is equal to
( and density of water )

Consider a vessel containing homogeneous liquid. Two points A and B are taken inside the liquid as shown.If are pressures at points A and B respectively, then

Two immiscible liquids of densities and are taken in the ratio of their masses as respectively. Find the average density of the liquid combination.

The pressure exerted by the applied force of magnitude on the horizontal surface area of as shown in the figure is

The density of mercury . Its value in CGS system will be

Establish the relation between pressure, height, density and acceleration due to gravity.

When oil having specific gravity is poured on water, which is the most likely observation

A body floats in water with of its volume outside water. When the same body floats in an oil, of its volume remains outside oil. The relative density of oil is

A cubical container of side length '' is half filled with liquid of density and placed on the floor of an elevator accelerating downward with acceleration . Now the container is given a horizontal acceleration with respect to elevator parallel to one of the horizontal edges, and the acceleration is gradually increased in such a way that liquid in the container never start oscillation. Then, ( atmospheric pressure)

A bottle is kept on the ground as shown in the figure. The bottle can be modelled as having two cylindrical zones. The lower zone of the bottle has a cross-sectional radius of and is filled with honey of density . The upper zone of the bottle is filled with the water of density and has a cross- sectional radius . The height of the lower zone is while that of the upper zone is . If now the honey and the water parts are mixed together to form a homogeneous solutions: ( Assume that total volume does not change)

Three different liquids are filled in a -tube as shown in figure. Their densities are and respectively. From the figure, we may conclude that

State the unit of density.

What is unit of density?

The wall of a dam is straight with height and length . It holds a lake of water on one side of height and base dimension . Let the density of water be . Ignore atmospheric pressure. Then due to the water

What is the dimensional formula for density?

What is the unit of density in a CGS system?

Write different units of density.

A body is submerged in water. It is taken out and then submerged in mercury. What happens to its relative density with respect to the liquid in which it is submerged.
